Patented Mar. 14, 19533 UNITED. STATES PATENT OFFICE SAMUEL ALIIMIE'NAAND'WILLIAM NAUMAIIN, or scmivron, PENNSYLVANIA SLIDING 15mm AND WAVEour Application filed fi'ovember 11, 1932. Serial No. 642,292.

This invention relates to a clip used in the general object of theinvention being to provide a U-shaped member of flexible material and asheath in which one limb of the member is slidably arranged, so that theclip can be easily and quickly engaged with a bunch ofhair, and just aseasily released from the hair without disarranging the hair.

This invention also consists in certain other features of constructionand in the combination and arrangement of the several parts to behereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing,and

l I erence will be had to the specifically claims.

In describing the invention'in detail refaccompanying drawing wherein'like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout theseveral views, and in which Figure 1 is an edge view of the devicepointed out in the appended with a part broken away. i

Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof. Fig. 3' is a top plan view with theclip partly pulled from the sheath.

Fig. 4 is a section on line 44 of'Fig. 3. shown in this drawing, thedevice comprises a substantially U-shaped member 1 formed of springmetal or the like and an grcuatesheath 2m which one limb of the member 1is slidably arranged. One end of the sheath is closed and its other endis opened to receive said limb of the member 1 and the open end isreduced as shown at,

3 to prevent the large end 4 of said limb from being entirely removedfrom the sheath asshow'n in Fig. 3.

The pin or member 1 is pulled out of the sheath as 'far as pomible, andthen the sheath is placed undef that part of the hair to be waved orengaged by the device. The sheath is held in position with the finger ofone hand, by slightly holdin it against Then the free limb-o the pin ormember '1 is lifted by the thumb nail or the bunch of hair with anotherpart of the hand and slipped over the middle finger so that when thefree limb is released, the

device will clamp the hair between said free 'which can be easily andquick limb and the sheath. In removing the de- I not disarrange thehair.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages andnovel features of the invention will be readily apparent.-

It is to be made in the construction and in the combination and;arrangement of the several parts provided that such changes fall withinthe scope of the appended'cl'aims.

Having thus described our invention what we claim as new is 1. A deviceof the class described comprising a substantially formed of springmaterialand a sheath in which one limb of the member is slidablyarranged said sheath having one end closed and its other end open withsaid one limb passing throu h sheath being 0 to the length of saidone-limb.

2. A device of the class described com prising a substantially U-shapedmember formed of spring material, a sheath havin one end closed and itsother end open, am in which one limb of the U shaped member is'slidably'arranged, the open-end being reduced and the extremity of saidlimb'being enlarged to prevent said limb from being entirely removedfrom the sheath.

In testimony whereof we aflix our signa U-shaped member be understoodthat changes may the. open end and said a length substantially equal
